Change the Border Policy
Several days ago, I sent President-Elect Obama a letter asking him to give consideration when addressing the growing number of serious crimes that are occuring in America due to the weak, and in many areas, non-existant security of our countrys borders. The following is the content of the letter:
The Honorable President-Elect Obama:
Congratulations on your successful campaign for President of the United States of America.
This letter is in regard to illegal immigration, illegal drugs and violence. The past eight years have seen an increase in drugs coming from Mexico to the United States. The violence on the Mexico – United States border has increased to the point of United States citizens being kidnapped, taken into Mexico and held for ransom.
The drugs coming from Mexico to the United States is out of control and it appears we have no policy to control any of these serious problems. I believe they need to be addressed by the new President.
Sir, I realize you have a great number of issues to address as you take office. Please give consideration when addressing the issues I have mentioned. Hopefully the members of Congress, Senate and Representatives can come up with a policy that will save this country from the mire before the conditions get worse.
We all know that it will take compromises from all sides. When planning policy for these issues, please consider the needs of the front line law enforcement agencies, jails and prison systems.
Again, congratulations on your election to the Office of President of the United States of America. Thank you for your time.
Respectfully submitted,
Richard. K. Jones
